I used to be afraid of everything and would run from any type of battle that arose. Partly because I wasn't trained in warfare and partly because the lack of ignorance about how to ﻿war effectively left me﻿ with a record of failed scirmishes and casualties that I didn't want to continue racking up. I'm not afraid anymore and my deliverance and courage are proof that you can live a bold and courageous life, too. Unfortunately in life we often have to work with people who are immature and egocentric. They can't see past themselves and haven't truly learned to serve in humility. I used to be one of those people. When I grew out of that, I began to prosper and experienced great success in my career in public education.

But as you begin to elevate the skill (quality) of your enemy improves, too. You have to overcome something greater than your current level to be promoted. Therefore warfare to get to the next level gets ramped up. If you don't know or don't understand this, you may respond as I did and cower in fear and allow a weaker but louder and more persistent enemy to wear you down and run you out. It can happen - I'm a witness - that a less intelligent enemy can defeat you because of fear. It's not that you're necessarily afraid of them, but the spirit of fear is at work against you. It's alive and powerful and grows with every sliver of energy you give it. It sits on your head like a hoodie pulled tight and getting tighter and wraps itself around your brain clouding your thoughts and smothering your smarts. Watch out, boy, fear'll chew up.

You have the authority and right to live a fearless life. But you're the only one who can overcome fear completely for yourself, or at least eliminate it in certain areas of your life. I know from mentoring that there are some people who truly believe to the point of arguing with me that fear in some areas is not only normal but required. I disagree. In my experience, being that fear is a living organism - like germs - once you feed it in one area it's only a matter of time before it spreads.

I overcame fear by learning to live life as one who forgives. I don't know what it is about forgiving others that defeated fear for me, but it did. That's power. It's supernatural. I stripped my soul and mind of dues owed me by anyone from my past (and still do as days go by for current situations because forgiveness is lifestyle) and I became the owner of peace that passes all understanding.

Are you ready to live a fearless life? Do you want the confidence to face any enemy - seen or unseen - without batting an eye? If your answer is, "Yes," than schedule a call or book a mentoring package today. Life is too short to live afraid.

When I lie down to sleep - even when napping - I begin dreaming or having visions as soon as my mind quiets. EXAMPLE: This past Sunday I was sitting in my napping chair (it's a fabulous La-Z-Boy leather recliner that's perfect for naps) at 5:44 p.m. I noted the time because I had a call scheduled for 6. And somehow in that brief amount of time I fell asleep and went into a really exciting dream. I lost the record of the dream, though, because my phone went off and jolted me awake. I do remember someone - most likely myself - yelling, "Grab that, too!"

Dreams are important tools for guiding our lives and giving us direction IF - and that's a big IF - we will invest the time to record our dreams upon waking and seek proper interpretation through prayer and then if necessary from someone gifted in seeing (interpretation). The Giver of Dreams desires the best for our lives. He knows the plans He has for us and decreed that those plans are for our good, for our prosperity, for our futures and for hope.

Seeking understanding about a dream from any other source other than the Giver Himself cannot yield the truth contained in the dream. Humanistic means based on the mind - which is flawed though amazing in its natural state - cannot adequately interpret dreams because dreams are spiritual communications. That further lends to the fact that if an interpreter isn't of the right spirit - say, a spirit of darkness as opposed to a true spirit of light - they cannot provide an accurate interpretation.

Take some time to examine your night dreams. They're communicating the condition of your soul and spirit. Are you consistently dreaming of dark, negative events and rehearsing the past or are you dreaming of things that speak of your future and give you hope? As a mentor my expertise is in helping you get your soul cleaned up and healed so that you can be your authentic self. A self that isn't running or hiding from what has been, but instead is leaping toward a future that's overflowing with hope.

If you're ready to take that leap, schedule a call or book a package today. I know you want to live the best life possible and leave a healthy legacy for those who come after you. Let's get started now.

P.S. I was not ever a homecoming queen, but I was the belle of my 20-year high school reunion this summer and that only happened because I have a cleaned up and healed soul. Let me tell you ... I used to be a problem causer and I was great at it. Now I'm a problem solver and I'm great at that. ;) Let me help you.
